Matters Needing Attention in The Use of Zircon Sand

When using zircon sand, you need to pay attention to the following matters to ensure safe and efficient application:

I. Health and safety

(1) Radiological protection:

Zircon sand is a natural radioactive substance, and its radioactivity level is low, but it needs to be protected. The radioactive level in the workplace should be regularly detected by professionals, especially when it is handled in large quantities.

In the process of dry grinding, separation or handling, fine dust particles may be produced, so respiratory protection measures should be taken, such as wearing dust masks.

The storage area should be well ventilated to prevent irrelevant personnel from entering.

(2) Dust control:

Dust collection system should be used in dry grinding, filling and bagging to reduce dust flying.

Clean the work area regularly, especially the floor and horizontal surface, to avoid dust accumulation.

When the dust concentration is high (such as 1-2 mg per cubic meter), it is necessary to wear full-face protective equipment.

(3) First aid measures:

Skin contact: rinse with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Eye contact: rinse with flowing water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Inhalation: move to a fresh air place quickly, and give oxygen or artificial respiration if necessary, and seek medical attention.

II. High Temperature Performance and Operation

(1) High temperature application:

Zircon sand has excellent fire resistance and stability at high temperature, but it should be noted that it may be corroded when it comes into contact with alkaline slag or basic refractory.

In high temperature processes, such as glass melting furnace and casting, it is necessary to ensure the purity and particle size of zircon sand meet the requirements.

(2) Operating environment:

Dust should be avoided during operation, especially in high temperature environment, which may aggravate the harm to equipment and personnel.

Operators should receive professional training and be familiar with the properties and safe operation procedures of zircon sand.

III. Storage and Transportation

(1) Storage conditions:

Zirconium sand should be stored in a well-ventilated warehouse to avoid packaging damage and product leakage.

When stored in large quantities, it is necessary to ventilate regularly to prevent hydrogen accumulation.

(2) transport considerations:

Ensure that the package is intact during transportation to avoid leakage.

Before unloading, the container should be ventilated to evacuate the deposited gas.

IV. Environmental Protection and Regulations

(1) Leakage treatment:

If leakage occurs, it should be prevented from continuing to leak, so that the leakage place can be ventilated, and water can be sprayed to prevent dust from flying.

Leaks should be collected and properly handled to prevent water pollution.

(2) Regulatory compliance:

The use and treatment of zircon sand should comply with relevant environmental regulations and occupational health standards.

By strictly observing the above precautions, the health, safety and environmental risks that may be brought by zircon sand during use can be effectively reduced.
